North Korea, Cambodia eye trade ties

North Korea, Cambodia eye trade ties Cambodia is keen on increasing trade ties with North Korea ahead of the visit this week of Kim Jong-Il to the Southeast Asian nation.
   Press outlets reported Friday that the North Korean prime minister was looking to cement a trade deal that allows the isolated nation to use Cambodia as a conduit for North Korean goods in an effort to boost the economies of both impoverished countries.
   Cambodia has often been used by North Korea as a political liaison to South Korea.
